00:00Do we think she's seen this or just came out this morning? Okay. I just can't imagine having a sister
00:05this famous. Oh, poor Margie. I'll turn the Wi-Fi off. Hello. Morning, everyone. Oh, Kat, I love your hair.
00:13Whoa. Kat's got a new fringe, everyone. I've had it for ages, actually. You know, I find with my hair,
00:18I just kind of need to follow the natural rhythm. You know, it tells me which way it wants to
00:22go in the morning. Mm, you look great. Thank you.
00:25Wind or rain, doesn't matter. Snow or sun, that's just the weather. Bring it up!
00:41Margie, here you are. 10am start today, is it? Hey, have you seen Kat's new fringe? Look at this. Very
00:47stylish and groovy, Kat. Can we talk spending now, please, Margie?
00:50Hey, how was your weekend, Julia? Did you have any hot dates? Come on, don't be silly. I don't think
00:54anyone's still looking for love at this age.
00:55I'm still looking for love at any age. I've actually found my 40s to be my most sexually active. I
01:00feel like I'm really in my body.
01:02Right. Yeah, like I'm really sitting in my sex. Okay. I'm feeling good. I don't feel dried up.
01:08Hey, Mum. Oh, hello, darling. How are we? Hello, son. Son, son, son, son. That's my mum. Son. That's my
01:15mum.
01:15Sorry, what the hell is this? Day one of rehearsal for us and we are getting into character.
01:19Took us. Thank you. I want to learn everything there is to know about the craft.
01:23Oh, no. Don't start saying the craft. We're meeting Julia.
01:26Uh, yes. In fact, here's my son. Come to mummy. Come on in.
01:30Oh, um, we're doing a little, um, mum. Yep. Mumma. Bubby wants a cuddle for mumma.
01:36Wah! Oh, I think that's enough, but we have made the point. Sorry about that.
01:40Let's go. Thanks, Christian. Okay. Yeah, no improv from the admin team. Thank you. No.
01:47Was that workplace harassment? Do I need to, um, report myself or anything?
01:51Let's stop talking about it. Okay.
01:52All right, talk to me about the Sydney Theatre Company. How are they making so much money?
01:56Big names, mainly. Big names. Like who?
01:58Well, Caitlin Allard, for one. The Caitlin Allard. Yeah.
02:01Wow, she does stuff for them. Yeah.
02:03Well, she wouldn't do a show for us, would she?
02:05Well, she has, back when their father was still alive.
02:07Whose father? Well, she's Margie's sister. You didn't know that.
02:11Oh, I'm sorry, what?
02:12Different mother, different surname, different vibe.
02:14Let's get her in here.
02:15I don't think that's a good idea because, um, well, they don't get along very well.
02:19Even better. Let's get Carmel on the line.
02:21We can't afford Caitlin. I need to stress that.
02:24Ah, don't worry about that. I'll find the money.
02:25Okay.
02:25I'll find us a new donor. I'll go one better. I will get us a new sponsor.
02:29But until then, it's still essential spending only. All right?
02:32I'm writing that down so I don't forget.
02:35Mother's been shopping.
02:37These are absolutely beautiful.
02:39They are all handcrafted. I commissioned a local artist.
02:42And if you look on the bottom, they are individually inscribed with words by me.
02:47I drew a pattern of a majestic woman and sewed all night and...
02:52I think they ran out of room on that one.
02:54Oh, I love it.
02:54Did I hear the word handcrafted? How much did these cost us?
02:57A thousand.
02:58What?
02:59Oh, four thousand.
03:00Four thousand? Dollars?
03:02They are cute.
03:03What does yours say, Christian?
03:05Christian.
03:06Oh, that's lovely.
03:07Says it all.
03:07Yeah.
03:08I just feel like things have been really hard lately, you know, so I wanted to acknowledge
03:12that and hold space.
03:13Is there anything you've been sitting with, Julia?
03:15I've been sitting with a lot of debt and a crazy spendthrift, so no kookaburra for me,
03:19thank you.
03:20No, there it is.
03:20There it is.
03:21Oh, that's nice.
03:23Your strength lies elsewhere.
03:26Chookas!
03:27That was a total chookas.
03:28Okay, what is the chookas thing?
03:29Last week it was eggs, then kookaburras, now chookas.
03:32Why are you all poultry obsessed?
03:33In the theatre, it's bad luck to say good luck, so we say chookas.
03:36Chookas?
03:37Yeah, chookas.
03:38I don't have time.
03:39I'm chasing new sponsors.
03:40Oh, that's good, because I've been thinking during l'episone multi-entere, we could project
03:45my face on the back of the theatre and I'd just be crying in a continual loop.
03:48Well, chookas, if you think we're paying for that.
03:51Oh, chookas to you if you think you're not paying for that.
03:52Okay.
03:53Chookas to you.
03:53Okay, chookas.
03:54Oh, no, chookas.
03:54Chookas.
03:55Oh.
03:56What?
03:57Really?
03:57What?
03:59Yeah, chookas.
04:00Actually, yes.
04:02Chookas.
04:03Hmm.
04:04Hmm?
04:04Oh.
04:06Can we turn the internet back on, please, Donna?
04:13Your mum is a hard nut to crack, isn't she?
04:15Yeah, sorry.
04:16No, I just hope she doesn't ruin our play with her budget.
04:18Yeah, me too.
04:19Oh, you were going to tell me about the Smirnov acting method?
04:22Stanislavski.
04:23Oh, yeah, sweet, yeah, Stanislavski, yeah.
04:25Okay.
04:25You know what I really feel like, actually?
04:27One of those yummy fishbowl salad things and a green juice.
04:30Oh, yum.
04:31Yum.
04:31Yum.
04:32Yeah.
04:34You want me to get it?
04:36Yes, please.
04:36Okay.
04:37It's part of the relationship building.
04:38Yeah.
04:39All right, thanks.
04:41Internet's back on.
04:42Oh, good.
04:43Finally.
04:48Fuck!
04:53Hello?
04:54Hello?
04:55Oh, God, what a smell.
04:58Cat?
04:58Cat?
04:59That homeless man's just walked right in.
05:01Really?
05:01Yeah, the man in the trench coat with the blood-curdling BO.
05:04Yeah, well, we've just described every actor in Melbourne, so...
05:09Oh, Ryan, how dare you put your finger up at me in a meeting?
05:12Well, how dare you not give Margie the budget she needs for her play?
05:15It has to be unlimited, Mum, okay?
05:17It's really starting to affect our working relationship.
05:19Working relationship?
05:20Oh, darling, she's taking you for a ride.
05:21No, she's not.
05:22She literally sees something in me.
05:24Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go and deliver her lunch and clean her office.
05:27Okay, good.
05:27Yes, please get out of here, because I'm waiting for a very important sponsor.
05:30Go on.
05:30I'm going to get us the money for a massive star.
05:32Off you go.
05:32No, wait.
05:33Who's the massive star?
05:34Not your business.
05:34No, Mum, come on.
05:35It is my...
05:36Come on.
05:36It's Caitlin Allard.
05:37No way.
05:38Yes, wait.
05:39No, there is no way you're getting Caitlin Allard.
05:40Literally.
05:41That's a chookers.
05:42That is a hard chookers.
05:44She's in Marvel movies.
05:47Donna, Jacob, you know what?
05:49I'm happy for her.
05:50Who, buv?
05:51Is she doing an off-Broadway show?
05:52What?
05:53No way.
05:53I didn't know that.
05:54Did you know that?
05:55I didn't know that.
05:56Really?
05:56Because it's everywhere.
05:57Yep, off-Broadway, which is even cooler than on-Broadway.
06:00So, of course, she gets to do that.
06:02You know, she's probably trying to claw back some credibility.
06:04But honestly, who cares?
06:06You know what I mean?
06:06Who cares?
06:07Who cares?
06:07Who cares?
06:07Who cares?
06:09No one cares.
06:10You know what I mean?
06:11No one cares about it.
06:13You know, but I just wish her so much happiness and luck, you know?
06:17Like, good luck, Caitlin.
06:19You know?
06:20Slay!
06:26You know what?
06:27Let's get on with actual work.
06:41I mean, it is giving peasants.
06:43Absolutely.
06:43You know what I mean?
06:45I just destroyed Mum over your budgets.
06:47You should have seen me.
06:48Oh, you didn't have to do that.
06:50Did you just heat those up in the microwave?
06:52Yeah, lad, they're in the freezer if you want them.
06:54Is this black or like...
06:55No nugget fingers.
06:56Sorry.
06:57Mum reckons she's getting a big star.
06:59What?
07:00Yeah, get ready for this.
07:01Caitlin Allard?
07:02Like, can you believe that?
07:04No, no, no, no.
07:05She's like the best actor.
07:06No, no, no, no.
07:06Come, come, come, come.
07:07What?
07:07You nugs, let's go.
07:08What are you talking about?
07:10What did I do?
07:12Caitlin, it's her sister.
07:15She's just going to waltz back in here.
07:17Great.
07:17I am so sorry you had to hear that from Greasy Nugs.
07:21I mean, what's going on?
07:23You know, Papa took me to Paris.
07:24Me.
07:25I know, babe, I know.
07:28You know, I could have sold out to Hollywood.
07:30My phone was ringing.
07:32You know, but I stayed at the theatre.
07:35You know, the true craft.
07:36Yeah.
07:38Yeah, you're an icon.
07:39You know, I've often thought to myself, you know,
07:41what if Steven Spielberg called me up and said,
07:44Margie, you know, we've got a film for you here.
07:46It's a role written just for you.
07:48And we'll fly you over first class.
07:50Hope your passport's ready.
07:52And then I get off at the other side.
07:54And, you know, the driver picks me up
07:56and takes me to Chateau Maman.
07:57I'd say, no, thank you.
08:01No, that's right, because you're the bigger person.
08:03Yeah.
08:04I've got to get rid of Julia.
08:06That's it.
08:07Yeah, what are you thinking?
08:08Push her down the stairs or months of emotional bullying?
08:12Well, neither of those.
08:17This is the main office.
08:19Ah, Christian.
08:20Yes.
08:21This is Nick, CEO of Chevy's Chicken.
08:24Wow.
08:25I love your Friday night chicken meal for one deal.
08:27Big fan.
08:27I came up with that.
08:28Really?
08:29Yeah, I haven't eaten it, obviously.
08:30Yeah, OK.
08:31Nick's in my Pulse 54 community.
08:33We're like the cool group, you, me, Scott.
08:35A bit like the cool group at school.
08:37I'm just kidding.
08:38Have you managed to meet up with Scott yet?
08:40I keep trying to pin him down for a one-on-one,
08:41but he's so busy.
08:42Yeah, apparently he doesn't do one-on-ones.
08:43I'm a Pilates freak myself.
08:46Same sesh every Tuesday for the last seven years.
08:48That's good.
08:49Me and the gals.
08:49Let's just go through to my office.
08:50We, um, they're going through a lot.
08:52No, I'm happy to be there with them to, um, do the Pilates.
08:55Did you do Pilates?
08:57Yeah, grab a seat.
08:58I just wanted to bring you in just to talk a little bit
09:00about the acting process, you know?
09:02You can access whatever you want for a character.
09:05Yeah, stuff from your childhood.
09:07Right.
09:08Like, when did your dad leave?
09:10I was heaps young.
09:11Dad said Mum went psycho after having me.
09:13He had to go.
09:14I was sad and shit.
09:15Okay, yeah.
09:16And what was his name?
09:17Tom.
09:18Mm.
09:18Tom.
09:19And where were you living at that point?
09:21Camberwell, I think, or...
09:23Okay.
09:24I reckon we can use some of that.
09:25So let's, you know, how are you feeling?
09:26Dad, what's coming to mind?
09:28He's walking away.
09:29He's walking away.
09:31He's walking away from you, and how do you feel?
09:33I feel sad.
09:34Yeah?
09:34What do you say?
09:35What do you say to Dad when he's walking away?
09:36I'm going to say, Dad, come back, please.
09:38Please come back.
09:39Why are you leaving me?
09:40Okay.
09:43Now, you know, you actually have a really raw quality.
09:46I haven't seen it before.
09:47It's fascinating.
09:48Thanks.
09:50Makes me thirsty.
09:52For the stage.
09:53Nah, latte.
09:54Oh.
09:55Mm.
09:55I could get you one.
09:56Oat.
09:57Yeah, sure.
09:58Mm.
09:58Don't go to the one down there.
10:00Go to the other one.
10:01It's a bit further, but it's better.
10:05Appreciate you taking the time to come in, Nick.
10:06Nick, so here's the pitch.
10:08Chevy's Chickens sponsors the Argyle Theatre.
10:12Why?
10:12Because I'm gay.
10:13Because I know Peter is trying to shut you down.
10:15Battery hens, Nick.
10:17That's crazy lefties.
10:18They can't even think for themselves.
10:19I know.
10:20I don't like them either.
10:21Speaking of, did you know in the theatre it's bad luck to say good luck?
10:25They say chookers.
10:26Chookers.
10:26Chookers.
10:27Chookers.
10:27Yeah.
10:27So I'm offering you an exclusive sponsorship deal.
10:30For $150,000, stay with me.
10:33Every play we put on, someone in a Chevy's costume walks on stage carrying a roast chicken
10:39and says...
10:40Chookers.
10:41Chookers.
10:42Suddenly everyone is saying, ooh, Chevy's chickens champions the arts.
10:45It's not the worst idea I've heard.
10:48Uh, just wait.
10:50That might just be one of Margie's warm-ups.
10:52No, I think that's real.
10:53Okay, let's go.
10:54Ah!
10:56What's going on?
10:56Is someone sorting this out?
10:57I'll turn it off.
10:59I think we're good.
11:01Oh my God, Christian, it's the homeless guy.
11:03He was cooking in the rehearsal space.
11:04I think it's seafood.
11:06It stinks.
11:06Is there a sewage leak in here?
11:07Hello, hello, hello!
11:08Marcel!
11:10Oh, money!
11:12Oh.
11:13Okay.
11:15No kissing in the workplace, please.
11:16Thanks, everyone.
11:17This is Marcel Dimarest.
11:18He's our artist in residence all this week.
11:21He's also agreed to run an accessing your inner clown workshop this afternoon,
11:24exclusively for us.
11:26Surprise!
11:27What?
11:27I am all the way from France to tell you that none of you are being your honest, true selves.
11:33You are all pieces of shit.
11:37Hmm.
11:38Challenging.
11:38He's a world-renowned clowning expert.
11:42God, how much is this costing us?
11:44You.
11:44Oh.
11:45You have a very tight, trapped energy.
11:48Yes, that's what I've been saying.
11:49She's got no access to her emotions.
11:51I studied under Marcel in France.
11:53I'm one of his disciples.
11:56You are his disciples.
11:58Oh, listen to him.
12:00Oh, my God.
12:02Best use of my life.
12:03I've got a change code.
12:04Get through customs.
12:05Margie, can we have a word, please?
12:07What?
12:07What do you want?
12:07Let's talk outside.
12:09You're fresh air.
12:10God, all right.
12:11I'll be back, okay?
12:12I'll be right back.
12:12Je ne comprends pas.
12:13Ah, je l'ai.
12:14Ah oui, à bientôt.
12:15D'accord.
12:16Au revoir, Maggie.
12:18Oh, pardon.
12:19What?
12:19What do you want?
12:20He's not very funny, is he?
12:21Who?
12:22Your homeless clown.
12:23Marcel?
12:24Oh, no, no, you'll love him.
12:25He's worked in corporate settings.
12:26He opened Steve Jobs right up.
12:29Isn't he dead?
12:30Yeah, but he wasn't always dead.
12:31Oh, this is the dumbest conversation.
12:32The point is, I've got a very important sponsor on the hook,
12:35so leave me out of your whole clowning think tank, whatever it is.
12:39You know, sponsors are a collective decision.
12:41Well, nothing more.
12:42So, chookers.
12:43Oh, chookers.
12:43Oh, chookers.
12:44Oh, chookers.
12:44Oh, enough chookers.
12:45Chookers, chookers.
12:47Stephen Job is in a small ball screaming.
12:51Dead.
12:52Slowly, he opens his eyes, he looks at me, and he says,
12:57like an iPhone, but bigger.
12:59Et voila.
13:00That is how he invented the iPad.
13:02Unbelievable.
13:03I am the catalyst.
13:05Oh, this.
13:06Nick, I thought we might take this conversation off.
13:09Offline, maybe go to a cafe, talk more about the sponsorship.
13:12No, no, I think I want to stick around for this workshop.
13:13Oh, good.
13:15Boom.
13:15Great.
13:16Yeah, so go and see Donna.
13:17Jump into some comfies, and I'll catch you in there.
13:19Some whatzies?
13:20Comfies.
13:20You can't wear that.
13:21We're going to get right into our bodies during this.
13:24All right, I'll smash this.
13:25I have been wearing this same jacket since 1992.
13:29Well, I think that surprises no one.
13:31It looks good, Marzi.
13:32Oh, God.
13:33You like it?
13:34Yeah, look, I'll have to run up the flagpole, but I think we might have a deal.
13:38Wonderful.
13:39Good decision.
13:40You won't regret it.
13:41Mum, Margie does not want pastel-coloured comfies.
13:44Nick, this is my son Ryan.
13:45Sup, bro?
13:46Sup, Ryan.
13:47This is Nick.
13:48Nick is the CEO of a huge hospitality company, and he also has a partner called Michael, who's
13:54a man.
13:54Okay.
13:55He's a finance gay.
13:56I'm just saying, not all gays end up in the arts.
13:59Mum, you can't say stuff like that.
14:00Why not?
14:00No, no, it's okay.
14:01She's right.
14:02Really?
14:02Look, when I was at uni, I thought the drama department was the only place for me, but
14:07then I realised that it's okay to love KPIs.
14:10This is cooked.
14:12You're cooked for that, Mum.
14:13That's from the horse's mouth, Ryan.
14:16Through here.
14:17Oh, my God.
14:18Yeah.
14:18Oh, okay.
14:21Is that garlic or shit?
14:23Maybe both?
14:24Is that guy living here?
14:25He pockets his hotel per diem.
14:27Come on in, everyone.
14:28Leave your old selves at the door and embrace your inner clown.
14:32Oh, my God.
14:32Does she not have a sense of smell?
14:41What's happening?
14:42I don't know.
14:42Really?
14:44Oh, yeah.
14:47It's fini.
14:48How funny.
14:50Oh, that stuff is hilarious.
14:52Marcel's going to do another activity for us now about finding a character or personage,
14:57as they say in the French.
14:59So, listen up, everyone.
15:00Ears to the front.
15:01We're each going to get into character now.
15:03Who is living inside you?
15:06Hello?
15:07Who is in there?
15:10You.
15:11Get up.
15:12Who is there?
15:13Do not bore me.
15:15I mean, go, go, go.
15:22Hello?
15:23Hello?
15:24My name's Walter.
15:26I'm the biggest ladies man in town.
15:28I love rock and roll music in my Cadillac car.
15:31No, no, no, no.
15:31This is best in no truth.
15:33I feel nothing.
15:35Oya, you are empty.
15:38Veed.
15:38Okay.
15:38Get off.
15:39Get off.
15:40Yep.
15:41Empty, apparently.
15:42I didn't want to do that.
15:43I really didn't want to do that.
15:44I don't know.
15:45You.
15:49No, no, no, no, no, no.
15:53I have fallen asleep.
15:54I am so bored.
15:56I hope I die in my sleep.
15:59Get out of my eyes.
16:03Oh, dear.
16:07You.
16:08You.
16:09Get up.
16:10No, I won't.
16:12But you were scared?
16:13No, I'm not scared.
16:14I just have financial reports to check.
16:16Oh, too scared to do it.
16:18Some great corporate leader.
16:20I will not be goaded into doing something silly by a clown and a bunch of lefties.
16:24Let's get out of here, Nick.
16:25Let's go and sign some contracts.
16:28What have we got here?
16:29I'm Julia McNamara.
16:31Oh.
16:32Ha, ha.
16:33How much does that cost?
16:35How much does that cost?
16:37I'm a corporate robot.
16:38Is that my suit?
16:39This is something interesting.
16:41Oh, my God.
16:41Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
16:43It's a grind set.
16:44Like a mindset.
16:45Ha, ha.
16:46That's funny.
16:46Silence.
16:47I cannot feel.
16:49But I have secrets.
16:52Lots and lots of secrets.
16:54How long have you been living in this corporate hell?
16:5718 years since I lived in Camberwell.
17:00Oh, what?
17:01Oh, but Tom.
17:03Tom.
17:04Hey, come on.
17:05You don't leave.
17:05Ryan, you want to jump in?
17:07Ellie, Ellie.
17:07Yes, come here.
17:09Let mummy look after you.
17:12What's she doing?
17:12Oh, no.
17:13Oh, oui.
17:14Oh, my God.
17:14She's been frustrated.
17:16Oh, hey, hey.
17:17Whoa, no, no.
17:20Oh, I'm Maggie.
17:22I feel my feelings and everything's about me.
17:26Everyone pay attention to Maggie.
17:29Oh, I'm cryabra.
17:30Now, this is real.
17:32You see what Julia is doing here.
17:33Wait, Bill.
17:34What else?
17:35Chookies.
17:36Chookies.
17:36Papa took me to Paris.
17:39And now I'm in my 40s.
17:41My breasts are so fulsome.
17:43I'm having more sex than I've ever had before.
17:46I don't walk like that.
17:47I don't walk like that.
17:48Julia, I would love to explore this further.
17:51Huh?
17:51Huh?
17:52Huh?
17:53Huh?
17:54You're good to meet me.
17:56Let's all get back to it.
17:58Okay.
18:00Well done, everyone.
18:02My incredible.
18:05Nick, I'm so sorry.
18:06I know that was upsetting.
18:08I'm, are you all right?
18:09I'm just, I'm a corporate robot.
18:11No, don't be silly.
18:12My life is meaningless.
18:13No.
18:14I don't even like chicken.
18:15Everyone likes chicken.
18:16Come on.
18:18That was very powerful.
18:19Okay, thank you.
18:20I know what I have to do now.
18:22I have so much to learn from you, Marcel.
18:25So how do I find my true self?
18:27You move to France.
18:29You make three payments of 467 euros.
18:33And you smoke these.
18:36Hey, okay.
18:37If you have a credit card or, how you say, direct debit, de toute façon, c'est facile.
18:43Right.
18:44Right, yes.
18:44I'll get my wallet.
18:45Hang on.
18:45Yes.
18:47Hey, Marcel.
18:48Have you seen that I'm doing les pises en émoigné en today?
18:50Ah oui, la pièce indoutable.
18:52I see Caitlin is doing a show off-Broadway.
18:55Yes, I know, I know.
18:57Why is everyone obsessed with Caitlin?
19:00Maybe your father loved us slightly more than you.
19:05But remember when Papa took me to Paris?
19:08Remember when we had that tiny rehearsal space in the apartment and we'd all go to the apartment?
19:11It's so boring.
19:13Yes.
19:13Use it for your art.
19:16Mm-hmm.
19:18More wine.
19:19More fun.
19:22Sorry, Marcel.
19:35Charge!
19:36Charge!
19:37Ah!
19:38It's crazy!
19:39Oh, watch out.
19:49Whoa!
19:50Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
19:52What's going on here?
19:53Margie just asked me to clean her office.
19:54Oh, I saw what you...
19:56That's disgusting.
19:57She's one of the finest actors in the country and you're going to do that?
19:59Hey, hey, hey.
20:00Yeah.
20:00What's going on here?
20:01Oh, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I've just walked in on your son sexually interacting
20:06with that post-up.
20:08Sexually?
20:08Yes.
20:08I was just cleaning it.
20:09I don't see tits.
20:10It's just Windex and glass.
20:12They're called breasts, Ryan, and they happen to be attached to one of the finest actors
20:16in this country.
20:16Look, we've all thought about it, okay?
20:18But we don't act on it.
20:20Keep it in there.
20:21I'm gay.
20:22What?
20:24You know what?
20:25I've had a huge day.
20:26I'm out of here.
20:27Wow.
20:31Ryan, why are you still here?
20:32I'm doing chores, actually.
20:34Chores?
20:34You don't even put a plate in the dishwasher at home.
20:36I did actually want to say, Mum, you were pretty great up there today.
20:39Oh, thank you, but in future, can you please not tell Margie things about my personal life?
20:46Yes.
20:47Or simulate breastfeeding?
20:48Yes, fine.
20:49Or do whatever it is you were doing with that poster?
20:52Oh, okay, yes.
20:53Anything else?
20:58What the hell is that?
21:04No, no, no.
21:07Oh, there you go, Sherry.
21:11Oh, there you go.
21:13Oh, here comes Lava.
21:16Oh, mommy.
21:25Oh, wow.
21:30Good morning.
21:33Girls are out, mate.
21:34Oh, we must have fallen asleep.
21:35Oh, dear.
21:36We were having a late night clown workshop, weren't we?
21:40Oh, is that what you call it?
21:41Yeah, I was playing the role of a lonely housewife, I think.
21:45Right.
21:46What have I been doing?
21:47You had some really good ideas about slapstick.
21:50Tell her that.
21:50I don't think so.
21:51No, I need to go back to my job and my life.
21:54Great.
21:55And what about our sponsorship deal?
21:56No, I want nothing more to do with this place, okay?
21:59Ah, hang on a minute.
22:00We had an agreement.
22:00The agreement is cactus.
22:02It's over.
22:03Your chook is cooked.
22:05Oh, Nick, I think you are being a little hasty.
22:07Hang on.
22:08Oh, no.
22:08Because I've got something that might just change your mind.
22:12Some breakfast?
22:14Merci, Marcel.
22:16Oh, muscles.
22:18Yum.
22:24Oh, Marcel.
22:25No more muscles, please.
22:27Ah, Marguerite.
22:29Julia.
22:29I was hoping you would still be here.
22:31Hey, if anyone's worried about what happened at our workshop last night, it was all made
22:34up, okay?
22:35It's called acting.
22:36It's not what I saw.
22:37You just don't recognise artistic expression.
22:40Ah, and you don't recognise a clown with STDs.
22:42But the good news is, I have secured a $150,000 sponsorship from Chevy's Chooks.
22:47Carmel is thrilled.
22:48Julia, please.
22:49That chook guy is long gone.
22:51I don't think so.
22:53Already signed off on it.
22:54An exclusive deal.
22:55Their branding on our artwork, plus the placement of a roast chicken in every play moving forward,
23:00carried on by a Chevy's mascot.
23:01That's an artistic decision.
23:02You can't just put roast chooks into plays.
23:04We're a roast chook nation.
23:06Everyone's going to love it.
23:06I don't believe Nick's changed his mind.
23:09You're bluffing.
23:10Yeah, he didn't really have a choice.
23:13Yeah, I'm showing that.
23:16I didn't want his partner seeing this.
23:21I look quite good there, don't I?
23:23It's a powerful angle.
23:25I think that is the most expensive sexual congress that man's ever had.
23:29I can't believe you used that against Nick.
23:31That's evil, Julia.
23:33Yep, but now we can afford a big star, so I just need to get a contact for Caitlin Allard's
23:37agent.
23:39Come on?
23:40No?
23:42Oh, well.
23:43Chookers!
23:44Chookers!
